State School
Oh, Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig, does whatever the Spider-Pig does.
Can he sweep the world? Oh no, he can't, he's a pig.
Look out, here's a Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig, look out, here's a Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig.
Oh, Spider-Pig.
Here I am, and I've got Noah with me, and we're going to find out about state school.
Noah, what was the idea for state school?
Well, state school is a school where all the states go to learn about what happened in their past.
Oh, so it's kind of like a history lesson.
Kind of, but they all go to school, and they're all alive.
All the states go to school?
Mm-hmm.
What happens at state school?
Well, a lot of things.
For example, Hawaii the new kid got bossed around by New York and his three bully assistants,
like Texas, California, and what was the big one, the big icy one?
Was it Alaska?
Iceland?
No, Alaska, I think.
Oh yeah, Alaska.
Yeah, okay.
The dream is fading now I'm staring at the door.
I know it's over cause my feet have hit the cold floor.
Check my reflection I ain't feeling what I see.
There's no mystery.
Whatever happened to a passion I could live for?
What became of the flame that made me feel more?
And when did I forget-
That-
I was made to love you, I was made to find you.
I was made to find you.
I was made to find live you, I finally found me.
I was made just for you, made to adore you.
I was made to love and be loved by you.
You were here before me, you were waiting on me.
And you said you'd keep me, never would you need me.
I was made to love and be loved by you.
Your dreams are live with my eyes open wide.
Back in the ring, you got me swinging for the grand prize.
I feel the haters spitting vapors on my dreams.
But I still believe.
I'm reaching out, reaching out, reaching over.
I feel the brains cover me, call Jehovah.
And daddy, I'm on my way.
Cause I was made to love.
I was made to love you.
I was made to find you.
I was made just for you, made to adore you.
I was made to love and be loved by you.
You were here before me.
You were waiting on me.
And you said you'd keep me, never would you need me.
I was made to love and be loved by you.
I was made to love you.
I was made just for you, made to adore you.
I was made to love and be loved by you.
You were here before me.
You were waiting on me.
And you said you'd keep me, never would you need me.
I was made to love and be loved by you.
Love by you
Anything I would give up for you
Everything I'd give it all away
Anything I would give up for you
Everything I'd give it all away
Anything I would give up for you
Everything I'd give it, I'd give it all away
Oh yeah
Cause I was made to love you
I was made to love you
Yeah, I was made to love you

Cause I was made to love you
I was made to love you
Cause I was made to love you
I was made to love you
Yeah, I was made to love you
I was made to love you
Yeah, I'm in love by you
So, Dad, do you have any requests?
I mean, who do you want to hear about?
Well, I want to hear what happened when Hawaii got picked on by Alaska and Texas and California.
Why did all the big states go and pick on little Hawaii?
Hawaii was immediately considered little.
Little.
He was just, and he was like in a bunch of little pieces, like Mr. DNA from Jurassic Park.
Well, are all of the states boys or are there girl states too?
There are girl states.
What are the girl states?
There are a lot of them.
Like what? Which ones are girl states?
There are a lot. I can't name them all.
Well, tell me a few of them.
Like Delaware, Kansas, Maine.
Hmm.
Tennessee?
Yeah.
Yeah? How about Mississippi?
No.
Alabama?
No.
Georgia?
Yeah.
Washington?
Dad, let's not continue on with this stuff.
Well, tell me what happened about when Oregon went to state school.
What was that first day of school like?
Well, there weren't a lot of them there yet.
For example, Alaska, the bully assistant had not started coming to school yet.
Neither had Little Hawaii.
Oh, my. Who else was late coming to school?
Well, I mean, they hadn't attended school yet.
But, um, well, I'm not too sure when a lot of them were.
Well, who were the first ones to get to school?
Uh, I think it was Virginia?
Do you remember who the very, very first state was to get to school?
I'll give you a hint. It was a girl state.
Rhode Island?
Delaware?
Delaware, that's right.
Rhode Island, isn't it?
A girl state.
I just got confused.
Rhode Island's not a girl state?
No, it's a boy state.
Oh, my.
Okay.
And wave, it's a curious thing
And it's humbling

Is New York a boy state?
Yes
Is that why he's so mean?
Yeah
Because he's a boy?
No, no, no
No, it's just because he's the rich snob of the class
And why does Texas hang around with New York?
Because he's big and dumb
And doesn't know where to go for fun
Who's the principal, Noah?
Who's the principal of state school?
Washington, D.C.
What's he like?
Is it a he or a she?
He's mean
Is it a he or a she?
A he
Yeah?
What makes Washington, D.C. so mean?
Well, he's really strict
And he wants to become king of the world
Uh-huh
Sounds like he could be fun
Bless you
No, no, he wants to kill Idaho
Why Idaho?
Well, because Idaho wears sunglasses
Oh, because, do you remember why it wears sunglasses?
Let me know
Bless you
Oh, my
Are you allergic to that?
Well, I'm allergic to that
Are you allergic to this story?
No, but Washington, D.C. hates sunglasses
Why does Idaho wear sunglasses?
I don't know, because he looks cool
I think it's because Idaho has famous potatoes
And the potatoes wear sunglasses
And so Idaho wears sunglasses
Not really
What do you mean, not really?
That's exactly why
And Idaho also hangs out with his two other cool friends
Ohio and Kentucky
What's so special about Ohio and Kentucky?
They also wear sunglasses
They do?
Yeah
They don't have famous potatoes
You think I care?
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got trouble
And I've got them too
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together to see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Some of the folks might be a little bit smarter than I am
Big and strong too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you, boy
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
Tell me, well, what state you want to hear about?
I want to hear all about Florida.
Well, Florida attended, I don't know.
But anyways, he's had some rough times at state school
getting picked on by California
because California thinks he's better
because he has Disneyland
and then Florida's always showing off his little model Disney World
so then they always fight.
And California's bigger so he usually does.
Beats up Florida.
Really?
And Florida just takes it?
No, he's trying to tell the principal.
But the principal always sides with California.
I don't know.
I think for some reason our principal would probably side with Florida
in a big way.
Oh, no.
Well, you might be surprised.
I'm American made, but large every day
My mama taught me wrong from right
I was born in the South
Sometimes I have a big mouth
When I see something that I don't like
I gotta say it
Well, we've been driving this road for a mighty long time
Paying our mind to the signs
Well, this neighborhood's changed
It's all been rearranged
We left that team somewhere behind
Slow down, we're gonna crash
Baby, you will scream
And it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, baby, you got your blunders on
Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone
Real gone
There's a new cat in town
He's got high paid friends
Thinks he's gonna change history
You think you know him so well
Yeah, you think
You think he's gonna change history
I swear, but it's just perpetuating prophecy
Come on now
Slow down, we're gonna crash
Baby, you will scream
And it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, you got your blunders on
Everybody's looking for a way
To get real gone
Real gone
Well, you can say what you want
But you can't stay around here
Cause they'll catch you and give you
A weapon
Well, I believe I was right
When I said you were wrong
You didn't like the sound of that
Now, did you?
Slow down, you're gonna crash
Baby, you're screaming
It's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, you got your blunders on
Everybody's looking for a way
To get real gone
Well, here I come
And I'm so not scared
Got my platter to the metal
Got my hands in the air
So look out, you got your blunders on
Everybody's looking for a way
To get real gone
Real gone
Wow, well, let's talk about some state history
Do you remember what state mom was born in?
I think it was California
Do you remember what city she was born in?
No
Yeah, well, she was born in California
What about me?
What state I was born in?
Oregon
What about Eden?
Oregon
What about Aunt Shantrain?
Was it Oregon?
Uh-huh
What about Grandpa?
Washington
Oregon
, mm-hmm
What about Uncle Jay?
Oregon
What about Aunt Tia?
Oregon
California
I think Aunt Tia was born in California, but I'm not positive
How about Papa?
Delaware?
No
California?
Uh-huh, I think so
What about Nani?
California?
No, she was born where they make lots of cheese
Do you know what a cheese state is?
What's the big cheese state?
Oklahoma?
North of Oklahoma
Like, way north of Oklahoma
North and kind of north, northeast
New Mexico?
Montana?
Idaho?
You're just naming out states
Show me where Oklahoma is on the map
I don't know
Okay, go all the way north
They want to hear about state school
And then go to the right
Yeah, what state's that?
Michigan?
What does it say?
It doesn't say anything
It says Wisconsin
Where?
In my mind
Oh
On my mind map, it says Wisconsin
That's where Nani was born
Okay
All right
Well, we got that all cleared away, didn't we?
Yes
How about Uncle Seth?
Uncle Seth?
Dad, let's get back to the state school
I think Uncle Seth was born in Oregon
Yeah
I did
Yeah
Oh
34
Oh
Yeah
Walls, windows, trees, waves coming through
You being me and I'll be you
Together in eternity
Some kind of ecstasy gonna hold on me
Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
Or down in the valley where the river used to be
I got my mind on eternity
Some kind of ecstasy gonna hold on me
And I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are
Mm-hmm
Uh-huh
Mmm-hmm
A huge orange flying boat rises off the lake
Thousand-year-old Patrick Lips doing a double-take
Pointing a finger at eternity
I'm sitting in the middle of ecstasy
A young man marching, helmet shining in the sun
Polished and precise like the brain behind the gun should be
They got me thinking about eternity, but some kind of ecstasy
Gotta hold on me
And I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are
The freighter's on the knot on the surface of the bay
One of these days we're gonna sail away
We're gonna sail into eternity
Some kind of ecstasy's gonna hold on to me
And I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are
Good, now, we only have a lot of time left
So, one more question
Uncle Tom.
No!
State schools!
Ah, he was born in Oregon!
All right.
We want state school questions.
Okay.
So then what happened?
What?
I thought you were telling me about state school.
Dad, that drive between Florida and California is over.
Do you remember what any of the birds are that go to the states?
That go with the states?
Let's just keep talking about state school.
Not birds.
I thought the states had to learn, like, what their favorite birds were.
Oh.
Well, I think Idaho is an eagle.
Oh, words.
Um...
I don't know.
Are you making this up?
I think that's Arizona.
Arkansas?
Alabama?
That's Arkansas, yes.
I think that is a chicken.
Uh-huh.
No, I mean, Ohio is a chicken.
Well, I think you're close because Arkansas has those famous chickens from Tyson Farms.
So you're probably right.
Dad, we're out of time!
Wait!
Dad, tell me more about state school!
No!
Well, I guess we're not out of time completely.
See?
That little thing moves.
So brilliant.
Did you have any other stories to tell about state school?
You just have to ask, well, which one do you want to hear?
Well, why did the Dakotas...
Why is there North Dakota and South Dakota instead of just there being Maine Dakota?
Like, all of Dakota.
Why are there two different ones?
Well, Dad, when twins are born and there's a girl...
That girl is called the South State, and the boy is called the North State.
That's what happens?
Mm-hmm.
So which one is the girl state?
South Dakota.
Well, what is North Dakota then?
The boy.
So why then do they...
Why are there two states?
I don't understand.
Why don't they just call them all one state?
They're twins!
They're not one state!
Um...
Kind of like you and Eden?
We're not twins.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
Mom told me that one time.
Satsang with Mooji
I made a deal with you.
What I desire is man's red fire to make my dream come true.
Now give me the secret, man cub.
Come on, clue me what to do.
Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you.

And how did they, how did Rhode Island ask to get beaten up?
He didn't really ask. Well, I mean, he kind of did.
He said to them, I challenge you to a fight with the whole school watching.
He only got one punch in, and that was on California's leg.
It didn't do any good at all.
And then what, did Rhode Island even get up after the fight?
Um, yes, he went to the constriction nurse immediately.
Oh my goodness, that's sad.
I think he's done a lesson.
I think he's done a lesson not to pick on bullies.
Yeah, and what lesson does that teach the rest of us who are listening to the story?
Don't pick on bullies.
Sounds good.
So, I guess this is the end of our education on state school today.
Is it recording?
Yeah.
Okay.
What's the date?
September 25th, 2007.
Do you have anything, any final words?
I'm trying!
Yeah?
Okay, well, I guess that was...
Oh, that was...
Oh, good.
For a second, I thought he wasn't going to be able to...
Oops.
Uh-oh.
You want to go get the paper towel, clean that up?
Dad, it's a burp. I didn't throw up.
I'm not so sure.
All right, September 25th, 2007.
Noah, thanks for the education.
Yeah.
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Do-do-do, all the way, all the way
Nighttime King was fine
Being in a black light
I enjoyed it
The母 Jah diden't push me
Oh they say her ears were too sharp
Do-do do-do do-do-do
Played some kind of conditioner
Do-do-do, pa-pa-pa- intensely
The night
Night-time would finally
Seriously sound the student bomb
Phelina would whir
Black of the night were the eyes of Phelina
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
No-no-no singin'
Well do-do-do-do-do-do-do
My love was deep for this Mexican maid
I was in love but in vain, I could tell
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
One night a wild young cowboy came in
Wild as the West Texas wind
Dashing and daring the drink he was sharing
With wicked Felina, the girl that I loved
So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden
Down with his hand for the gun that he wore
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
A handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
Out through the back door of roses I ran
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
Up on its back and away I did
Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso
Out through the badlands of New Mexico
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
Everything's gone and like nothing is left
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death
I saddled up and away I did go
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet could find me
Tonight nothing's worse than the pain in my heart
And at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso
I can see Rosa's Cantina below
My love is strong and it pushes me onward
Down off the hill to Felina's I go
Off to my right that C-5 mounted cowboy
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me
I have to make it to Rosa's back door
Back to life
Something is dreadfully wrong, for I feel a deep burning pain in my side.
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle, I'm getting weary, unable to ride.
But my love for Felina is strong, and I rise where I've fallen.
Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest.
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle, I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.
From out of nowhere, Felina has found me, kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Greeted by two loving arms that I die for, one little kiss and Felina, good.
Goodbye.
